Ancestral Cooking Forum

My mother was the best cook in the world,I loved her chicken and dumplings,her chittlings with the crackling cornbread,the fried peach and apple pies,the crust would melt in your mouth.the sat.ham sandwhiches with lettuce and tomatoes,the salmon that melted in your mouth. The cakes where she would go and get real coconuts,scrape them and make those great cakes.I have never been able to make a cake that was as high as hers was and the sweet potato pie.The salmon that would melt in your mouth.I have not ate like that since she died and noway can I cook like that.My dad uses to sit there and say um,um.um. women you know you can cook.Anna
